now charlotte becker is the advocacy and campaign, a director for oxfam, here in germany. welcome, charlotta. charlotta. tell us how did we get here? how is it that the rich are getting richer and the poor are increasing in number? yeah, thank you. i think most important is that still, you know, the fortunes have not increased because they are now to marta. all working hard at work and working harder for less pay and, and worth conditions. and that is because the economic system, it's rick this way. there are multiple drivers for the vast and equality and rise in extreme poverty. we can witness 1st when the cobra 900 and i'm a hit and that was already deeply on the equal world with public services that have been stripped. the service was largely benefit poor people and in particular, women and girls. second, the super rich were able to recover much faster from the initial shock of the panoramic back in march 2020. and right now at least 1700000000 work is live in countries where inflation is outpacing wages. hundreds of millions of people unable to afford the cost of livin

it's been ten years since oxfam first - years since oxfam first published a report on inequality, and, things have been getting worse. what is unusual and unprecedented this year is that we have seen both the rise in extreme inequality, the wealthy getting wealthier, as well as extreme poverty rising. we think that one in ten people will go hungry this year, that there has been an unprecedented increase in extreme poverty, the largest since records began in 1990. so we have a global economic system that just in 1990. so we have a global economic system thatjust isn't working. it's an affront to the moral values that many of us hold dear, yet global leaves that have been meeting and davos are unlikely to do anything serious or meaningful about addressing that inequality. in about addressing that inequality-— about addressing that ine . uali . ,, �* inequality. in the usa in the re ort inequality. in the usa in the report that _ inequality. in the usa in the report that needs _ inequality. in the usa in the report that needs to - inequality. in the usa in the report that needs to be - i

but what does oxfam look for? i think we're looking for a more equal future. i think we're looking for a future where there is a lot less wealth and power in the hands of a toy and a group of people. and yes, we're seeing some re calibration of between the great power blogs for nothing has stopped the enormous accumulation of wealth, whether those a chinese billionaires or american bananas. so we would like to see a fair version of globalization, which is more of the value that's created in the world, can't for those of the bottom, not captured by those of the top. and that doesn't seem to be much evidence of the yet. do you think globalization in itself is a good system? we would certainly be in favor of a fair globalization. we don't think the old countries can or should cut themselves off in any economic sense. but we do think the globalization we've had over the last 30 years is manifestly failed apart from those at the very, very top. and we're seeing tremendous hardship at the bottom. it's really hard to exaggerate as all the time we work with some of th

if the political will, you touched on tax, we've heard from oxfam and, and all those doubles, calling for taxes on the super rich. it's not a new idea, but many governments have resisted it. why? the simple reason is that billionaires and the other very wealthy people tend to love the governments to persuade them, not to do it. i mean, they're always inviting senior politicians to parties on the yachts. we know that happens. it's well documented. it's not even surprise to hear it, but it's not that we shouldn't be surprised either that after they come back from those parties on, you're feeling a lot more friendly towards a b. s and, and don't feel inclined from some policies that they're likely to compromise interest, but actually go deeper the math and the bigger problem we have is not just as direct access to positions for the fact the months for mainstream media is dominated by being their owners so they're very able and, and did all the time to get their media outlets to essentially promulgate their interests. the arguments are in favor, their interests, and even when you have a v
